Hey Guys,
I've finally found some time to re-organize and update my cube listing. It's been a whole 3-years since I've done this, so it's really taking a while!
Will try to update as frequently as I can, also with periodic pictures (of contents, draft sessions, as well as new pimp acquisitions).
Basic Info
Cube Size: 560 Cards
Breakdown: 70 Each Color, 70 Guild, 70 Artifact/Colorless, 70 Lands
Standard or Theme Cube: Standard
Average Draft: 4-8 players, 1-2 times a week
Location: Malaysia
Pimp Fetish: FOIL. Currently over 90% foiled up. Also aiming to replace all proxies with Collector's Edition cards.
This deck is not any good it was pure crap. It was hyped by pro`s like LSV, Brad Nelson, Matt Sperling and I did put my thrust in them. Also I had some kind of feeling that Fauna Shaman is going to break the format and make new archetypes. But he does not shine in Naya in any way. The reason for this is that he competes for the deck with Lotus Cobra and Lotus Cobra provides ways to speed Naya up and make fast action turn 3 like Ajani Vengeant, Bloodbraid Elf and Vengevine, which is almost deadly sometimes. Fauna Shaman slows the deck and does not improve it in any way, it even weakens it a little. In addition Naya was no powerhouse anymore before he took the spot of Lotus Cobra so i would give you the advise to drop your plans on playing Naya, it wont bring any wins in general. The meta is too fast to use Fauna Shaman and search all Vengevines, at least you are not able to do this in the Naya edge, because you need to attack your opponents. The lack of Jace, the Mind Sculptor in this edge and the lack of spot removal forces you to end games fast and the small bear elf is not the right choice for this. Me and pro friend got bad beats at the austrian nationals and we got no chance to win any games. I wish Fauna Shaman could shine in any control list and I am tinkering for it at the moment, will post it soon.
I actually did realize how Fauna Shaman slows the deck down. Which is why i'm only running 2 copies as seen in my above list. It is most effective when you need to fetch your sparkmage or Realm Razer to catch opponents off guard. Rarely will you be able to live the dream of going Dredge-vine with it D:
Been testing this, its undefeated against Next Level Bant, fair matchups against RDW and Superfriends pre-board. Should easily trump Jund. Whispersilk Cloak > Behemoth Sledge by miles.
Went 5-1-1 with this exact list at the local Nationals Qualifiers, scrubbing out in the top 8 due to a massive play error.
G2: 2 Cunning Sparkmages in opening hand, drew into 2 more, and Bloodbraid Elf into Collar. Elf + Cloak sealed the deal.
R2: R/G Aggro 2-0
G1: Double Cobra into Vengevine + Cloak outraced him.
G2: Beefy Knight of Reliquary + Basilisk Collar.
R3: R/B Blightning 2-0
G1: Went down to 1 life, alpha striked with Monument ftw !
G2: 2 Hierarch + Vengevine (equipped with Collar + Cloak)
R4: Jund 2-1
G1: Stuck on 2 lands (somehow) with my Hierarch and Cobra getting killed on sight.
G2: T1 Hierarch, T2 Cobra + double Hierarch, T3 Dauntless Escort, proceeded to lay beats and dropping Monument ftw.
G3: Sparkmage + Collar + Cloak.
R5: Jund 1-2
G1: Color screwed on red with 2 BB Elves in hand.
G2: Explosive hand into a quick Monument.
G3: He had Relic of Progenitus for my Vengevines, and spot removals for ALL of my creatures. Stomped on me with Sarkhan + multiple Thrinaxes.
R6: Naya Vengevine 2-0
G1 & G2 won by explosive hands into quick Monument.
R7: ID-ed into top 8.
Top 8: Jund 1-2
G1: 3 minute game with Cobra x2 into Vengevine and Bloodbraid Elves etc.
G2: Critical mistake, i pressured early with beats and double Sparkmage + Collar. He attempted to Pulse the Sparkmages when he was at 5 life, and i (stupidly) responded by pinging him for 2 -.- then never found a source for the 3 damage for about 5 turns until he stabilized with Siege Gang and Broodmate Dragon.
G3: Color screwed on red again with 2 BB Elves in hand to return double Vengevines from my graveyard. Beaten down by Raging Ravine -.-

safe to say the most active/established in Malaysia!
I actually did realize how Fauna Shaman slows the deck down. Which is why i'm only running 2 copies as seen in my above list. It is most effective when you need to fetch your sparkmage or Realm Razer to catch opponents off guard. Rarely will you be able to live the dream of going Dredge-vine with it D:
1 Birds of Paradise
3 Cunning Sparkmage
2 Fauna Shaman
4 Lotus Cobra
3 Knight of the Reliquary
4 Vengevine
4 Bloodbraid Elf
2 Stoneforge Mystic
1 Realm Razer
1 Basilisk Collar
1 Whispersilk Cloak
2 Eldrazi Monument
2 Ajani Vengeant
2 Elspeth, Knight Errant
4 Forest
2 Verdant Catacombs
2 Misty Rainforest
2 Mountain
2 Plains
1 Raging Ravine
1 Jungle Shrine

Made top 8 at my local Nationals Championship with this list, only losing earlier on to a lucky mirror and in the top 8 against removal Jund.
Constructed matchups :
Round 1 : Naya mirror (0-2)
Round 2 : U/W Control (2-1)
Round 3 : Jund (2-1)
(draft 1)
(draft 2)
Round 10: Titan Valakut Ramp (2-1)
Round 11: ID with my teammate.
Round 12: Boss Naya (2-0)
Top 8 : Jund (2-1)
Went 5-1-1 with this exact list at the local Nationals Qualifiers, scrubbing out in the top 8 due to a massive play error.
R1 : Jund 2-0
G1: T1 Hierarch, T2 Cobra + Nest Invader, T3 Vengevine (killed) + Bloodbraid Elf into Knight returning Vengevine, T4 Monument FTW.
G2: 2 Cunning Sparkmages in opening hand, drew into 2 more, and Bloodbraid Elf into Collar. Elf + Cloak sealed the deal.
R2: R/G Aggro 2-0
G1: Double Cobra into Vengevine + Cloak outraced him.
G2: Beefy Knight of Reliquary + Basilisk Collar.
R3: R/B Blightning 2-0
G1: Went down to 1 life, alpha striked with Monument ftw !
G2: 2 Hierarch + Vengevine (equipped with Collar + Cloak)
R4: Jund 2-1
G1: Stuck on 2 lands (somehow) with my Hierarch and Cobra getting killed on sight.
G2: T1 Hierarch, T2 Cobra + double Hierarch, T3 Dauntless Escort, proceeded to lay beats and dropping Monument ftw.
G3: Sparkmage + Collar + Cloak.
R5: Jund 1-2
G1: Color screwed on red with 2 BB Elves in hand.
G2: Explosive hand into a quick Monument.
G3: He had Relic of Progenitus for my Vengevines, and spot removals for ALL of my creatures. Stomped on me with Sarkhan + multiple Thrinaxes.
R6: Naya Vengevine 2-0
G1 & G2 won by explosive hands into quick Monument.
R7: ID-ed into top 8.
Top 8: Jund 1-2
G1: 3 minute game with Cobra x2 into Vengevine and Bloodbraid Elves etc.
G2: Critical mistake, i pressured early with beats and double Sparkmage + Collar. He attempted to Pulse the Sparkmages when he was at 5 life, and i (stupidly) responded by pinging him for 2 -.- then never found a source for the 3 damage for about 5 turns until he stabilized with Siege Gang and Broodmate Dragon.
G3: Color screwed on red again with 2 BB Elves in hand to return double Vengevines from my graveyard. Beaten down by Raging Ravine -.-
It greatly improves consistency of turn 4 plays, while offering chump blockers/trading with other creatures.
Alternatively, it functions as fodder/firepower for the Eldrazi Monument.
